Hey guys, asker here. I would like to elaborate on the question, since it's not possible to elaborate in the question itself. I used to own a 14'' grayscale Samtron monitor, and it doesn't match any of the phopshor descriptions you can read about on the net. It was not white, not green and not amber, instead it displayed letters in a color that could be considered a warm, variation of gray with a slight brown tinge to it, so i guess calling it "tan" would be a good way to call it. I noticed that this gray was rather rancid when I first saw how color monitors displayed gray - a gray that felt colder and more vivid color - almost bluish, even though it was still monochrome. I could run Windows 95 on this monitor and even set my graphical options to 16bit (I believe), but in addition to the tan hue of its gray, it behaved a lot differently to color monitors displaying grayscale. For example, blues, reds and purples were displayed almost as black. Is that a monitor thing or is that associated with a system color setting (such as say, 256 colors?) I haven't been able to replicate this kind of monochrome on my new monitor, even though it lets you display actual monochrome if you decrease color saturation to zero. Does the kind of monochrome display I described have a specific name? And is there any possibility to simulate it via software on a color monitor (nostalgia reasons)?

I think, improves on the monochrome or black-and-white television technology, which displays the image in shades of gray (grayscale).

Difference between Monochrome color monitor?

Monochrome monitors are a type of computer display which were very common in the early days of computing, from the 1960s through the 1980s, before the advent of color monitors. They are still used today in some computerized cash register systems, amongst other select applications. Unlike color monitors, which display text and graphics in multiple colors through the use of alternating-intensity red, green, and blue phosphors, monochrome monitors have only one color of phosphor (mono = one, chrome = color). All text and graphics are displayed in that color. Some monitors have the ability to vary the brightness of individual pixels, thereby creating the illusion of depth and color, exactly like a black-and-white television. Monochrome monitors are available in three colors: if the P1 phosphor is used, the screen is green monochrome. If the P3 phosphor is used, the screen is amber monochrome. If the P4 phosphor is used, the screen is white monochrome (known as "page white"); this is the same phosphor as used in early television sets. Monochrome monitors, pixel-for-pixel, produce sharper text and images than color CRT monitors. This is because on a monochrome monitor, each pixel is made up of one phosphor, located in the dead center of the pixel; whereas on a color monitor, each pixel is made up of three phosphors (one red, one blue, one green), none of which are in the center of the pixel. Color LCD monitors, however, do not suffer from this malady and therefore are just as sharp as monochrome CRT monitors. Because of their superior sharpness over color CRT monitors, monochrome monitors were used in almost all dumb terminals; and they still enjoy use in text-based applications such as computerized cash registers and order terminals (such as those seen at many fast-food restaurants). Monochrome monitors are particularly susceptible to screen burn (hence the advent, and name, of the screen saver), on account of the fact that the phosphors used are very high-intensity. Another effect of the high-intensity phosphors is an effect known as "ghosting", wherein a dim afterglow of the screen's contents is briefly visible after the screen has been blanked.
